Overview

Running office suites, browser tabs and video calls on a desk or under it, this Dell tower pairs a four-core Intel processor with fast DDR memory and an NVMe drive. Two display outputs drive a pair of monitors.

Windows Pro security, wired and wireless networking and dual monitor support make it a ready office machine. The base memory is on the small side for heavy multitasking, though there is room to add more.

Who it's for

Offices, students and remote workers running everyday software on two screens will find it capable. Anyone doing heavy rendering or gaming needs discrete graphics.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

Responsiveness comes from the NVMe drive and fast memory, while the four-core chip handles office work and calls comfortably. Integrated graphics drive two displays and play video but are not built for gaming. Adding memory up to the listed maximum is the main upgrade path for heavier multitasking.
